Blessings for the Hebrew Month of Sivan
Sivan—The Third Month of the Hebrew Year 5782
May 31–June 29, 2022
The Month of Covenant and Blessing
—Sometimes Called the “Businessperson’s Month”
Sivan—The Third Month of the Hebrew Year 5782
May 31–June 29, 2022
The Month of Covenant and Blessing
—Sometimes Called the “Businessperson’s Month”
In Acts 2, He poured the Holy Spirit upon them. There should never ever be any question that God wants to bless His people in every way: spiritually, physically, emotionally, relationally, and financially. This all hinges on the covenant He has made with us. We can’t earn it. We can only receive it by faith by aligning with Him. This covenant began with Abraham. On Mt. Sinai, God then entered into covenant with Israel as a nation (Exod. 19–20). And through His death and resurrection, Jesus instituted a far better covenant (Heb. 7:22) [1].
The Lord is pouring out a new anointing on His people so they can be used in the great harvest we are now entering. It’s not just about souls being saved—it’s also about the continual increase of the kingdom of God in every area of society. Expect great outpouring! It’s what God wants for you.
Sivan
1. The month of Zebulun. The “businessperson’s month” and the month of Pentecost (June 5–6). God wants us to learn about prosperity. Genesis 49:13 states, “Zebulun shall dwell by the haven of the sea; He shall become a haven for ships, and his border shall adjoin Sidon.” Deuteronomy 33:19 states, “For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas and of treasures hidden in the sand.” We must conquer any mindset that God does not want us to have prosperity. We must also defeat the mindset that it is we who earn our money, or that we earn our living by our own efforts. Yes, work is part of our ministry and “the sweat of [one’s] brow” came about because of the fall of Adam (Gen. 3:19) [2], but God wants us to know it is He who gives us the power to obtain wealth (Deut. 8:18) [3]. Thinking that our success is because of our own efforts actually puts us under a curse—not blessing (Jer. 17:5–6) [4].
2. A month of giving, and a month to review your giving processes. Leviticus 23:16 states, “Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord.” Offerings can be money, time, or service. Ask the Holy Spirit to direct your special offering during Pentecost season.
3. A month of receiving new boundaries or new fields. Not only is God pouring out new anointing, but along with that comes new assignments and fields. Expect some old ministries to be shut down and be replaced with new ones.
4. A month to be merciful. In John 8, the Pharisees wanted to stone the woman caught in adultery, but Jesus forgave her. There will be times when you have to deliberately choose to be merciful.
5. A month of alignment (Moses, Miriam, Aaron). Along with new anointing and new fields come new alignments and connections.
6. This is a key month of Sabbath. Pentecost (June 5–6) is called the Feast of Weeks because it is seven weeks (fifty days) after the Feast of Firstfruits and Jesus’s resurrection. Note that “7” is the number of completion/perfection. At Pentecost, God gives the following: 1) new provision, 2) new revelation, and 3) new anointing and power. We need a new level of all of these to do and complete the new assignments He is giving us.
7. The month of the Hebrew letter zayin [ז]—receiving mercy to complete certain things. One assignment the Lord has given me/us is to activate people not just to prophesy, but also to heal the sick and release miracles. I should expect more grace/help from Him than ever. You should too.
8. Zayin means both “the sword” and “sustenance or nourishment.” Note how the word of God is both the sword of the spirit and the bread of life. Soon we will have finished counting the omer—focusing for fifty days on how “man lives by every word that comes out of the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4). Thus, we will now find that the word is a sword breaking us into victory.
9. The month to see clearly. Declare that heaven’s window is over you. The Lord wants us to see. Ask Him to enable you to see. Activate seeing pictures and visions.
10. The month of the constellation Gemini (or the two tablets). The law had to come twice because of Moses’s failure. Isn’t it good to know that we can fail and God still comes through for us because of His mercy.
11. The “wedding month.” Read Song of Solomon 6:3 [5]. The whole point of the Lord giving the law at Sinai was to enter into covenant with His people. It’s like marriage—becoming one with Him. All that He has is ours. All that we have is His.
12. Jacob or Esau month—good inclination or evil inclination. We have to remember that there is an evil as well as a godly inheritance. You choose the one you want. Let’s be sure to choose the godly inheritance.
13. A month of “cause” rather than “effect.” Become a catalyst that develops into a “cause.” “Effects” will come later. This means it’s time to sow seeds. Talk about the goodness of God as much as you can and soon you will see great harvest.
14. A month to continue on in God’s way, instead of taking a wrong path. If necessary, choose against your emotions. Stay out of negativity and conflict. We don’t want to cause the angels to leave. “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and Issachar in your tents! They shall call the peoples to the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness; for they shall partake of the abundance of the seas and of treasures hidden in the sand” (Deut. 33:18–19).
15. The month to go from one level of strength to the next.
16. It's a month to connect your speech to your “walk.” Declare your speech and “walk” are connected. If you talk the talk then you must walk the walk. The more you talk about the goodness of God, the more victory you will see in your life.
Don’t let the Western mindset fragment your thinking. God is moving through—not disconnecting—the months. He is tying each month into the next. Gather wisdom and move forward. This is the way not to waste the blessings of the previous months. God’s power can restore things quickly. Once you get moving in God’s timing, you move into and begin to see restoration and acceleration. Restoration will double, quadruple, or septuple as quickly as what you wasted. Don’t give up on people who have made a mess. God can rebuild. They rebuilt the wall in fifty-two days.

Blessings for the Hebrew Month of Iyar
Iyar—The Second Month of the Hebrew Year 5782
May 2–May 30, 2022; Counting the Omer (Days 16–45)
Be Sure to Understand the Times—We Are Newly Anointed and Have Crossed into Harvest!
Iyar—The Second Month of the Hebrew Year 5782
May 2–May 30, 2022; Counting the Omer (Days 16–45)
Be Sure to Understand the Times—We Are Newly Anointed and Have Crossed into Harvest!
1. Counting the Omer (49 Days to Pentecost—see Leviticus 23:15–21). The Israelites were told to count for 49 days. This would bring them to the time of the wheat harvest and the Feast of Pentecost. What is so important about counting? God wanted them to change their thinking. They had been set free from slavery and now were His people. We too have been set free from sin and death by Jesus. Likewise, we’re not merely “slaves who have been set free,” but we truly need to know He is leading us with purpose. We are His ekklesia.
2. The Issachar month. See 1 Chronicles 12:32, which states, “The sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.” Compare this with Ephesians 5:15–17 which enjoins us to understand our times [1]. This year’s Passover (2022) was historic. We crossed over into new anointing for great harvest.
3. The month of radiance, where light increases (the days are getting longer). Just as natural light increases during the spring, see that God wants to give you more revelation about yourself and your circumstances. God wants us to shine. This is the time of Isaiah 60:1 [2]. We are rising and shining because the light of the Lord’s glory is shining on us.
4. The month linked with natural healing. We should expect that God will heal some through natural means. Exodus 15:26 states, “I am God, your healer [Jehovah Rapha].” A good “activation” or exercise this month is to bring any long-standing illness or weakness before the Lord daily this month. Watch for healing that will have happened by the month’s end.
5. A month where you will see your snares. Why did the Israelites fall so easily into the snare of murmuring and complaining? When a crisis arose, instead of expecting a fresh miracle, they quickly fell into fear and unbelief and voiced it with murmuring. The main issue was they wouldn’t change their thinking. In a crisis, they always reverted back to a slave’s mindset and felt that God wasn’t involved. So be sure to know the truth—we are His people and have an everlasting covenant with Him. He has anointed us and we have crossed into great harvest. Be sure to think that way. Proverbs 23:7 states, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”
6. The month of the Hebrew letter “vav” [ו]. This is a month that links the Month of Redemption and the Month of Giving. (If you move correctly during this month, the rest of the year connects properly.) Your prosperity is linked with this month. Definitely ask the Lord for what gift you should bring him. Remember, each of the three feasts is a time of special giving. We read, “Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed” (Deut. 16:16).
7. The month of the constellation of Taurus, the bull. Look and observe introspectively to find a place of improvement so that strength manifests. Don’t get discouraged and stop when you discover weaknesses. Remember the Lord has made you strong (like the bull/ox) and you can keep moving ahead. The gospel of Mark is symbolized by the ox, and it emphasizes Jesus as servant. One of the easiest ways to keep moving ahead is by continuing to serve.
8. A month to deal with your soul (mind, will, and emotions). Make sure these three things—mind, will, and emotions—are aligned with God. One way of keeping them aligned is through our speech. Be careful to use words that release grace (Eph. 4:29) [3].
9. A month to understand secrets (Issachar). Thank God that He will show you keys of healing, keys of advancement, and keys to handle complicated situations. Also remember that “the secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him (or He confides in those who fear Him)” (Ps. 25:14).
10. The month of thought. God permeates the mind (the thinking process of the heart). If our emotions are wrong, we won’t be able to think clearly. God will send healing as we choose not to murmur and complain. We will find Him putting His thoughts into our minds.
11. A month of spiritual advice. We need to be prophetic during this time. If we don’t exercise our gifts, somebody else will. Prophesy regularly this month.
12. The month of conscience (will, emotions, thought processes, and adrenaline processing. Fear affects us. God starts dealing with our consciences). The conscience is a window between spirit and soul. A clean conscience helps us with revelation. “I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day” (2 Tim. 1:3, emphasis added). A clean conscience helps us with revelation. We are cleansed by the blood of Jesus. “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Heb. 9:14). Let’s let this month be a time of much healing.

April 2 - May 1, 2022
Blessings for the Hebrew Month of Nissan
Nissan—The First Hebrew Month of 5782
April 2–May 1, 2022
Crossing Over—The Surest and Easiest Way Is with Praise!
Nissan—The First Hebrew Month of 5782
April 2–May 1, 2022
Crossing Over—The Surest and Easiest Way Is with Praise!
Nissan is the first month of the Hebrew year and is the beginning of the redemption cycle, preparing us for the seventh month when the Hebrew year changes. Nissan contains Passover (April 15), the Feast of Unleavened Bread (April 16–22), and the Feast of Firstfruits (April 17–18).
Nissan can also be thought of as a time of crossing over. The Israelites crossed the Red Sea during Nissan. Forty years later, Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan River—also during Nissan. In particular this year, 2022, is a time of crossing over and is a crossing over with the Lord into a time of great harvest. We could say that since Passover 2020, God has begun a time of “reset” for His people. Many prophets worldwide were more-or-less unanimous in their view that a major shift and time of preparation had begun. Many also felt that around Passover 2022 would be the time of crossing over into the great end time harvest. That time is now.
So what are the keys for crossing over? Nissan is connected to the tribe of Judah. Judah means “praise.” Also Judah goes first. In order to cross over, we will have to do it with praise.
Blessings for Nissan (sometimes referred to as Aviv)
1. This is the first of the months and the beginning of the redemption cycle (Exod. 12:1–2 [1]). It’s also the first month when we can—and should—announce and keep declaring there is a new beginning in Canada and that the time of harvest is here!
2. It is also the month of the tribe of Judah. Judah goes first—first into warfare (see Judges 1:2 [2]; 20:18 [3]), and also first when moving to a new place. Judah was the first tribe in the order of procession when Israel moved in the wilderness (Num. 10:14 [4]). Judah also means “praise.” Praise is what will enable us to actually “cross over” into the new God has for us.
3. The month in which spring often starts; the beginning of the month of direct light. Declare your light is getting brighter. (See Isaiah 60; Luke 2:32 [5]; Isaiah 49:6 [6]; and Acts 26:18 [7].) Declare His light is shining even in the places that have been dark until now.
4. Month of Passover (starts on the 14th of Nissan, April 15–16). Passover is designed to help us enter into a richer experience of our great salvation in Jesus. We do this by examining the first Passover. Note the following things:
-Deliverance. Israel was set free from Egypt. We need to remember and thank the Lord for where we came from. Peter was delivered from prison during Passover week (Acts 12). Expect a new level of deliverance.
-A time of crossing over (first the Red Sea in Exodus 14, and then the Jordan River in Joshua 4–5). This year we’ll cross over into a harvest like something the church has never quite seen before.
-Reproach is being rolled away (Josh. 5:9 [8]). Any old sense of failure that is still a part of our identities that is allowed to remain will hinder us. Jesus wants to roll that off of us. And remember, praise is the key. As you praise Him, old reproaches will roll off and away.
-New provision (Exod. 12:35–36 [9]; Josh. 5:10–12 [10]). Each Passover is a time when the Lord wants to bless us with new provision. Look for it. Expect it!
5. The month of redemption. (A price has been paid for you to be set free from each one of your “prisons.”) Read Ruth, and see how Boaz bought back the property that had been lost for Ruth and Naomi, and how this brought Ruth into her destiny. Declare all is being unlocked and that you are moving into your destiny. Jesus has bought back your destiny.
6. The month of the beginning of miracles. See Nehemiah 2:1 [11] and Esther 3:7 [12]. In both cases, the miraculous chain of events was set into motion during Nissan.
7. The month that sets the course for your future. The Lord wants the whole year to be one of victory, advance, and increase. Set the course by being strong in praise.
8. The annual renewal of God’s plan. Every year, the spirit of God needs to blow on you during this month. Ask the Holy Spirit to blow upon you for refreshing, for new revelation, and for a quickened understanding of what God is doing in this new season.
9. Linked to the constellation Aries (the ram or the lamb). Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29 [13]). God provided a ram for Abraham to sacrifice instead of Isaac. He is Jehovah Jireh and God will provide (Gen. 22:14 [14]). Expect unusual sources of provision.
10. The month kings go to war; the new year for kings. God wants to “expand” you. Declare that plans and new beginnings shall begin to take place. Many of us have gone through a three-day fast during the past few months. Now you will see the results of it.
11. The month of speech. If you speak negatively during this month, it will adversely affect you three to four months later. The seeds of negativity take root and will pull you backward. Conversely, your positive confessions should “grab the wind” and change the atmosphere. (See 1 Peter 3:9 [15]; 1 Samuel 1:17 [16]; 2:20–21 [17].)
12. The “controller month.” Put your best foot forward. You need to assess both where you are at and where you are going.
13. The month where you need to “learn to fish.” If you can’t pay your taxes, pull a coin out of a fish’s mouth. Let the Lord give you new and unusual means of supply. (See Matt. 17:27 [18].)
14. You must step forward. Don’t wait and hold back. Move ahead confidently in God. Numbers 33:3 (AMP) says, “The Israelites went out [of Egypt] with a high hand and triumphantly.”
